PPLA: How did you come to work with Usher? Any future collabs in the works?

Ayo & Teo: Usher reached out to us to dance with him in his video and to teach him how to do the reverse. Yes, there are some collabs coming but we want to wait until it’s confirmed before we announce them.

Ayo & Teo: The biggest challenge in our career has been getting used to traveling all the time, never being home, sleep schedule, and missing friends and family.
